Trying to set up feeding stations for the birds. I want to help them through the winter, but I do wish they would learn some manners. Big birds scare off little birds, squirrels run amok stealing everything in sight, and cats prowl around licking their lips in anticipation. Why canā€™t they learn to queue? :roll_eyes:

They come to our freshly filled feeders like locusts. I have tried feeders in different locations, doesnā€™t work though. :grinning:

When there are lots of them all at once, I find them quite scary, itā€™s like Hitchcock The Birds

You are soo right, itā€™s very scary, I can handle a few but when itā€™s a dozen plus :scream:
They tend to knock the feeders off the stands. Which is ok for the ground feeders I suppose :grinning:

Looked at it. We have some echius (or echium) and I am hoping they havenā€™t died. they look very sorry for themselves, all the leaves are almost black and limp.
